Root biology and genetic improvement for drought avoidance in rice (2011, background): “A combination of pathways can be used, for example, when water moves within the symplast for some distance and may then cross the plasma membrane to move within the cell wall (Steudle, 2000).”
Ion Transport in Halophytes (2011, background): “stress (Steudle, 2000); this may be functionally important to both prevent apoplastic flow of toxic Naþ ions as well as increase water retention in the root.”
Rhizosphere: biophysics, biogeochemistry and ecological relevance (2009, background): “…root and cell pressure probes of root and cell hydraulic conductivities and reflection coefficients, led to the development of the ‘composite transport model’, i.e. parallel pathways for water uptake with different relevant driving forces occurring also across the endodermis (Steudle 2000, 2001).”
Fine root distribution of pruned trees and associated crops in a parkland system in Burkina Faso (2004, background): “One of the tree management practices that can reduce competition between trees and associated crops is crown pruning, which is known to modify the rooting pattern of trees and processes occurring belowground (Jones et al. 1998; Steudle 2000; Jeschke and Hartung 2000).”
An optimality-based model of the coupled soil moisture and root dynamics (2008, neutral): “…relationship was difﬁ-cult to obtain from the literature, as respiration rates, root hydraulic properties and turnover rates are rarely measured on the same plants, while all of these parameters are highly variable, not only between species, but even within the same root over time (Steudle, 2000).”
Soil compaction effects on growth and root traits of tobacco depend on light, water regime and mechanical stress (2012, positive): “This is coherent with the theoretical considerations about hydraulic conductivity and resistance (Steudle, 2000), which assumes that roots with a smaller cortex width have lower resistances for water transport from soil to xylem vessels.”
Logistics of water and salt transport through the plant: structure and functioning of the xylem (2003, background): “Since the cell-to-cell route of water transport includes passage through the vacuolar membranes (Steudle 2000) it is not surprising that the Arabidopis aquaporin γTIP was found to be highly expressed in the vascular bundles of roots and leaves (Ludevid et al. 1992).”
Aquaporins: Highly Regulated Channels Controlling Plant Water Relations1 (2014, methodology): “…on the species, growth conditions, and developmental stages, and the variability in the use of the different paths in roots according to the conditions has been explained by a composite transport model (CTM) based on measurements of the overall root or cell hydraulic conductivities (Steudle, 2000).”
